Music for Upcoming Worship Services
We’re happy to be making music in our sanctuary! The piano is tuned, the acoustics are lively, and our Offertory special music highlights the message of the day.
If you would like to sing as part of our choir, please contact music director Wanda Garrett.
- Choir rehearsals are Mondays at 7pm, plus Sunday mornings at 9:15am, in the Sanctuary.
- From September through June, we rehearse on Monday evenings, 7:00pm to about 8:15pm. On Sunday mornings, 9:15am-9:45am, we practice the special music for that day. If you are not able to attend Monday rehearsals but want to sing on Sunday, let Wanda know, and practice on your own.

12/10/2023, 2pm: Singing at Pacific Hills Manor
- The choir, musicians and anyone else who wants to join us will be singing at Pacific Hills Manor Nursing Home, 370 Noble Ct. Morgan Hill. It works out best to get there 20 minutes ahead of time and check in, then meet in the activities room which has a piano and seating for around 25 people. Those of us who participated last time really enjoyed the moment with the patients for whom we sang a nice song list. We anticipate the program to run about 45-50 minutes.
